Doyle Lawson has been a leader in bluegrass music for decades. He and Quicksilver played at a festival in Dahlonega, Georgia in the mid-eighties, and it changed the life of a young girl in the audience named Kristin. Three and a half decades later, Kristin Scott Benson is one the most celebrated banjo players of her generation and is the reigning IBMA Banjo Player of the Year. She sits down with Bluegrass Hall of Fame member, Doyle Lawson, to talk about the impact he and his music have had on her and on the bluegrass community at large.
The International Bluegrass Music Association is the non-profit music association that connects, educates, and empowers bluegrass professionals and enthusiasts, honoring tradition and encouraging innovation in the bluegrass community worldwide.

Doyle had some of the best bands ever!

This should be required listening for any musician working at any level. Very frank discussion about the realities of the business side of music and transitions taking place in multiple genres. Doyle's statement about there being a very fine line between preserving music and killing it is so very true. I am thankful for artists like these two and their bands who have done a great job of preserving acoustic music and giving it new life! Just like the Country Gentlemen and Seldom Scene in the 70'''s - They keep us moving forward!!

HIs comment in full on bluegrass progressing:"In the course of progress, I hope they won't lose the values of the tradition of the music. Don't go so far that it becomes something else. You say or think you are playing bluegrass when, the reason we have different genres of music because there is a certain sound that defines that. Even today. "
